Answer:

1 donut and a bag of coffee costs $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by creating a pair of simultaneous equations.

Let x = a donut.

Let y = a bag of coffee.

Therefore:

8x+2y=18

3x+y=7.50

There are a few ways to solve these equations. This time I'll show you the elimination method. We eliminate one of the variables to get the other variable equal to a number.

Start by multiplying one of the equations by a number so that one of the variables has the same coefficient (number at the front) as the same variable in the other equation.

I'll multiply the second equation by 2 so that the y will have a coefficient of 2 like the 1st equation.

2(3x+y)=2(7.50), 6x+2y=15.

Now we have two equations with the same coefficient of y. We can subtract the equations from each other to eliminate the y variable and leave x equal to a number.

Subtracting  8x+2y=18 and 6x+2y=15 :

8x+2y-(6x+2y)=18-(15)

Simplify to get 2x=3.

Therefore x = 1.5.

Now we have one of the variables, we can find the other variable by putting the known variable back into one of the equations.

3x+y=7.50 - original equation

3(1.50)+y=7.50 - substituting x.

4.50 +y=7.50 - simplifying

y=3 - re-arranging to solve for y

Therefore, x=1.5 and y=3.

So 1 donut costs $1.50 and 1 bag of coffee costs $3.

1 donut and a bag of coffee costs $4.50

A circular rug has a diameter of 6 feet. What is the area of the rug?
podryga [215]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter B

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

diameter = 6 ft

area = ?

Formula

               A = πr²

radius = diameter / 2

          = 6 / 2

          = 3 ft

Substitution

              A = π(3)²

                 = 28.27 ft²

A home has a triangular backyard. The second angle of the triangle is 4degrees more than the first angle. The third angle is 8de
amid [387]

Answer:

1st angle = X

2nd angle = X + 7

3rd angle = X + 18

Then (sum. them): 3X + 25 = 180   ==>  X = 51.67 degree

Therefore,

1st angle = 51.67 degree

2nd angle = 58.67 degree

3rd angle = 69.67 degree

If f(x) = 4 – x2 and g(x) = 6x, which expression is equivalent to (g – f)(3)?
Llana [10]
F(x) = -x² + 4
g(x) = 6x

(g - f)(3) = 6(3) - (-(3)² + 4)
(g - f)(3) = 18 - (-9 + 4)
(g - f)(3) = 18 - (-5)
(g - f)(3) = 18 + 5
(g - f)(3) = 23
